Chorus:(X2)Life is a test, many quest the universeN' through my research, I felt the joy N' the hurtThe first shall be last N' the last shall be firstThe basic instructions before leavin' Earth

(Killah Priest)Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelveI love doin' right but I was trapped in HellHad mad ideas, sad eyes N' tearsYears of fear, but yo my foes couldn't bearI searched for the truth since my youthN' went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the lootThat I was payin', plus the prayin'I didn't like stayin' cuz of bizzie-bodiesN' dizzy-hottiesThat the preach-ass souped up with liesHad couped up, lookin' at loot, butt N' thighsDuring the service, he swallowed up the poorN' after they heard this, they wallowed on the floorBut I ignored, N' explored my history that was untoldN' watched mysteries unfoldN' dropped the jewel like Solomon, but never followed menCuz if you do your brain is more hollow thenSpace oblivia, or the abyssWith no trace of trivia, left with the hissDoes it pay to be deaf, dumb, or blindFrom a slave he was kept from the mindN' from a caves he crept from behindN' what he gave was the sect of the swineWhen the bible, that condemned the pigI don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigsBut we used to wear a turban, but now were in the urbanNo more wearin' beanies or dress like the genieNo hocus pocus cuz I focus on the factsN' put it on the track or brought it through the waxI speak on Jacob, it might take up some timeN' too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhmeI did it anyway, just to wake up the mindOf those who kiss stones or prays on the carpetThose who sit at home, or sell books by the marketNeed to chill N' get their mind revivedFor years, religion did nothing but divide

chorus(X2)

I strolled through the books of Job to unfoldN' opened bibles, instead of hopin' on revivalsCallin' on his name N' screaming HallelujaWhen he hardly knew ya, that's how the devils fooled yaSee, look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a ReverendWhy should you die to go to heavenThe Earth is already in spaceThe bible I embraceA difficult task I had to takeI studied till my eyes was swollenN' only arose when I found out that we were the chosenI deal with the truth N' build with the youthN' teach my son as he kneels on the stoopSon, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish menN' women with wicked minds who build picket signsTo legalize abortion, the evil eye extortionI quiz some with my wisdomBefore I converted I was pervertedN' knowledge was assertedThe study of wisdom, I perferred itThe understandin', it gave me mental freedomI even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of EdamThe white image of Christ is really Cesare BorgiaN' uh, the second son of Pope AlexanderThe sixth of Rome N' once the picture was shownThat's how the devils tricked my domeI prophesized to save a man but no one gave a damnFor my nation, the seed of AbrahamBlessed with the tongue of HebrewNow we're strung on needles, N' some are plungin' evilsSo study N' be wise in these days of darknessPeace to my nephew Marcus
